Beautiful! Ignorant question: are all of these edible? I vaguely remember that some wild carrots are toxic, isn't it?
Carrots are part of the Apiacea family (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apiacea). There are quite a few poisonous/toxic species in that family, and many of the species look alike to the untrained eye.
What OP described are heirloom varieties of carrots, though, not wild carrots.
